SHOPPERS across the UK will today splash the cash in a festive bonanza which is expected to see online sales hit £1.14billion while high street stores are set to take the hit.
The opportunity to grab the best bargains from the comfort of one’s own couch will mean many people will choose not to head to town, retail parks and shopping centres. In a bid to lure festive shoppers through their doors, big-name retailers such as M&S, Debenhams and House of Fraser are offering massive discounts as online sales are expected to jump by 10 percent from last year. In-store sales on the other hand are expected to drop by more than 12 percent.
